What is Recursion ?

This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer.

What is Recursion ?

Recursion is a programming technique where a function calls itself to solve a problem. It breaks the problem into smaller sub-problems, each identical to the original. The process continues until reaching the base case, which ends the recursive calls.
